I make media.

For several years I was
Chicago magazine’s
managing editor for digital. Before that I was its digital designer
and developer. These were rad jobs. I got to make fun things, and I
got to create tools that helped my colleagues do their jobs faster and
better.

In 2013 I helped shepherd the magazine’s
first digital redesign in six years. It was grueling, but I’m extremely happy with the final product and
how it showcases our quality journalism.

I like big projects but I also sweat the small stuff, like fussing
over smart quotes and seeing how many milliseconds I can shave off
load times. Most of my best work goes unnoticed, and I wouldn't have
it any other way.
